How to get ipython3-qtconsole running in Jupyter world?

[Shriramana Sharma]

Hello. I was happily using IPython3's QtConsole and on my Kubuntu I only had to install the package ipython3-qtconsole and I'd be able to just call up the app and simply use it.

Now with the transition to Jupyter the contents of the packages have all changed. All I want is to use the current equivalent of the old IPython3 QtConsole to interactively use Python3. Please advise me as to what packages I need to install on Kubuntu Bionic and how to invoke the app. I tried reading the docs but with the Jupyter docs and old IPy docs and new ones I'm totally confused.

Please help! Thank you!

The package on pip and conda is now called 'qtconsole'. I wouldn't recommend installing Jupyter through apt, because Ubuntu's packages are usually outdated.

On Ubuntu I do the following:

curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

bash

pyenv install  3.6.5

pip install qtconsole

jupyter qtconsole

If you have trouble with that you might be better off downloading Anaconda -- https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux

Thanks all very much! Special thanks to takluyver whose sympy packages I have used from Launchpad earlier. ☺

'pip3 install qtconsole' followed by 'jupyter qtconsole' works fine for me. I also created the following Jupyter-Console.desktop file and put it in ~/.local/share/applications/ to get it in my KDE apps menu:

Comment=Starts the Jupyter QtConsole

Hello. Just pinging this earlier thread to specifically note that installing the `python3-qtconsole` and `jupyter-core` packages from the Kubuntu Bionic LTS APT don't seem to work, as Takowl earlier warned. As I noted in my earlier post, only installing from PIP gets it working. Note that I haven't tried Kubuntu Cosmic packages because I'm sticking with LTS releases.
